The Rugby Championship kicks off for 2017 this weekend, starting with old foes New Zealand and Australia facing off in a match that doubles as the first of the three-match Bledisloe Cup series. So where will the two matches be played, what time do they kick off, and who will feature?

French, English footballers unite at Wembley

English and French football fans have joined in a defiant rendition of "La Marseillaise" ahead of the teams’ international friendly at London’s Wembley Stadium.

The words to France’s iconic national anthem were beamed onto the stadium’s big screens and English fans hoisted a blue, white and red mosaic in a touching show of solidarity with the French people.

The French motto of "liberte, egalite, fraternite" (freedom, equality, fraternity) was displayed outside Wembley and those in the 71,223-strong crowd also joined in a moment’s applause and a solemn minute’s silence.

British prime minister David Cameron, London mayor Boris Johnson and Prince William were among those in attendance.

The Duke of Cambridge joined coaches Didier Deschamps and Roy Hodgson to lay a wreath before the anthems.

Unbeaten fighter Floyd Mayweather has promised to repay any losses talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel suffers if he loses his fight against Conor McGregor.

The French team were playing Germany at the Stade de France in Paris on Friday when three suicide bombers targeted the arena during co-ordinated terror attacks which killed at least 129 people.

Today’s game was set to be cancelled but went ahead on the orders of French Football Association President Noel le Graet and the blessing of the French team.

Among Les Bleus’ squad for both matches were midfielder Lassana Diarra, whose cousin was killed in the attacks, and forward Antoine Griezmann, whose sister was inside the Bataclan concert hall during the massacre and escaped unharmed.

Diarra started on the bench and was substituted into the match in the 57th minute to a standing ovation.

England won the match 2-nil thanks to goals from Wayne Rooney and Dele Alli.

A friendly between Germany and the Netherlands scheduled to take place in Hannover today had earlier been cancelled, with German police citing a "serious" bomb threat.
